hate to point out the obvious, but why would there be any stretch on a 8.5J rim with 225 tyres?

225mm = 8.86 inches  :confused:

i know that the width is measured from the insides of the mounting faces, but even then that can't amount to more than a few mm...

Yep but what he is saying and I understand that the 7-7.5j wheel will pull the side walls in mine are spreading it out.

There the same as what a lot of people on here are running. So probably have to sell on an take a hit.
